This creation features fully articulating throttle, valve gearing, and brakes.

Locomotive #5344 was built as the last J-1E class Hudson for the New York Central Railroad in November 1931. As originally designed, the NYC Hudsons were built for fast passenger services, such as the 20th Century Limited and the Empire State Express. It was later equipped with Scullin driving wheels, and in December of 1944, #5344 was given bathtub streamlining as designed by Carl Kantola. Alongside this streamlining, the locomotive was named the Commodore Vanderbilt. It ran in this configuration until 1939 when it was given its iconic Dreyfuss streamlining and was assigned to the Mercury express train. It kept this streamlining until 1945, and it was scrapped in 1954.
